Brasil is having some good shrimps for dinner

I always forget that Angolans speak Portuguese too.

I wanted croatia to win, but mexico is showing passion

Embarrassing performance by Croatia.

Mexico is a team that they could have beaten.

In Mexico, "could have" doesn't exist.

 

[Nephrite]

I'm sad Croatia is out, but Mexico totally deserved the win. Congrats!

It could have been 4-1

Brazil confirmed frauds.

I just came here to quote this.

Brazil beat Cameroon 4:1.

Impressive victory. Nobody saw that coming.

Lots of people had brazil winning 3-0 or more.

To be fair though Cameroon is really really bad.

The real translation of cameroon to english is shrimp

Suarez is a fucking DOG.

He should receive a ban for one full year AT LEAST.

Looks like his bark isn't worse than his bite

I feel like if he really did bite him one of the camera angles will show it, and he can still get suspended.

Dude it's the THIRD TIME he bites someone on the pitch!
Hell make that a two-year ban at least.

 

[VenomX-90]

How bout them MEXICANS!!! though!!!

 

[SneakyTortoise]

So Suarez has now tired Dutch, Serbian and Italian.

Quite the Cannibal Connoisseur.
(Ironically he hasn't tried French, to my knowledge)

 

[STRYKIE]

Greece just stole that one hardcore, I don't even think the GDA guys would disagree with that. Props to Samaras for consoling the Ivory Coast keeper first thing after the game though.

Ivory Coast gave it to em though, you can't foul that late into the game in the box. I dont know wtf the goalkeeper was doing on that PK either, jumped forward for some reason.

Really great game though.

Typical rookie nerves I'd say. (neither team had ever made it past the group stage) Ivory Coast arguably wanted it a little more and it ironically cost them. Even if the score was still 1-0, I'm not sure if Greece would've lost their composure in the same scenario.

Things I have learnt from today's games:

• England have no future
• Greece could actually beat Costa Rica in the round of 16 and reach the quarters
• Samaras=Greek Jesus
• Suarez is still hungry
• Colombia are true contenders for the world cup (w/out Falcao and others)

 

[Cossner]

Uruguay. Throwing balls at the field, bullying the italian bench, bitting people...

 

[Braindead]

Suarez makes me salty. I wanna see him getting a two-year nerf. Come on Fifa give us dat patch.

I would respectfully disagree and say this may finally be the nail on the head for the FA realising that their expectations/conclusions are nothing but sentimental.
